Roatan Zipline and Island Tour: Jungle Canopies, Macaw Market & Rum Tasting
Fly through jungle canopy, haggle for coffee at the Macaw Market, sample Honduran chocolate and rum—all in one five‑hour circuit around Roatán. This tour pairs a pulse‑quick zipline with cultural stops that reveal the island’s flavors and history.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive hydrated
Bring a refillable water bottle—the guides will have limited drinking water but frequent stops make refills possible.
Wear closed‑toe shoes
Trainers or light hiking shoes protect your feet on platforms and short jungle walks; sandals are not recommended.
Light rain jacket handy
Tropical showers can pop up quickly; a compact waterproof keeps you comfortable during market strolls and transfers.
Bring small cash
Vendors at Macaw Market and vendors for extra snacks work on cash—small denominations (USD or local Lempira) speed transactions.

Conservation Note
The island is adjacent to protected reef areas—visitors should avoid touching coral, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and support local guides who practice low‑impact tourism.
Roatán’s location on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef made it a strategic stop for colonial powers and privateers; Afro‑Caribbean and Garífuna communities shaped the island’s language and culinary traditions.
